calling snoqualmie valley writers!
the north bend art & industry writers group + pidge post are happy to offer facilitated workshops, designed for all disciplines and skill levels, to hone and support creative writing endeavors.
whether you’re working on a novel, memoir, essay; writing a collection of poems; or just dabbling in the written arts, this is for you!
workshops are hosted twice weekly:
Mondays 10-11:30am (North Bend Art & Industry studio)
Thursdays 6:30-8pm (South Fork North Bend)
PRIOR TO SESSION
choose what you want to share. it can be long-form or short, fiction or non, but it must be 1200 words, max. (That’s about 4 double-spaced pages.)
print 5 copies—1 for you to read aloud, 4 for fellow writers to notate
if you’re able: sign up using that form, right there (—>) so we know to expect you
IN SESSION
each writer reads his/her/their piece aloud
while fellow writers read, consider:
what’s working well
questions you have
what could be stronger
what makes this work unique or interesting
take a few minutes to write your feedback on the page
discuss each piece in a positive, supportive way for ~5-10 minutes
AFTER SESSION
each writer should have feedback to consider and possibly include in future edits
each writer should feel that their practice was respected by the group
if you’re really jiving with another person’s work, consider becoming 1:1 support (beta readers?) for each other!
